The misconception that “Christians should live poor” as a measure of righteousness has persisted for centuries, perpetuating a damaging narrative that equates wealth with moral corruption and poverty with spiritual purity. This flawed notion not only distorts the teachings of Christianity but also undermines the potential for individuals to lead fulfilling and purpose-driven lives.
Contrary to popular belief, the Bible does not condemn wealth itself but rather warns against the love of money and the pursuit of riches at the expense of one’s faith and values. Indeed, throughout scripture, there are numerous examples of individuals who were blessed with abundance and used their wealth to advance God’s kingdom and uplift others.
Moreover, the biblical injunction to “Occupy till I come” underscores the importance of stewardship and responsible management of resources, challenging believers to engage actively in the world and make a positive impact in their communities.
By demonizing money and perpetuating a false dichotomy between spirituality and material prosperity, we risk stifling individual potential and limiting the transformative power of faith.

I’m grateful for all the wisdom I’ve learned from my mentors and excited to share it with you today.
Luxury brands like Ferrari and BMW understand that customer experience goes beyond how a car drives. They focus on every detail, including the sound a door makes when it opens, to create a premium feel. These small, thoughtful touches enhance the overall experience, making it memorable and unique.
By investing in design and sound, these companies connect with customers on an emotional level, fostering loyalty and a lasting bond. In today’s market, where authenticity matters, they show that every detail counts, crafting not just cars, but unforgettable customer experiences.
I think the biggest gap in building entrepeneurs is TEACHING THEM HOW TO FAIL.
Almost all the literature out there teaches you how to START AND BUILD a business. None teaches you how to protect your downside risk when (not if) things start going array.
And I mean the real stuff not the theoretical stuff.
